aespa’s live singing skills are already proven, so netizens question why they don’t show off their talent, and stop lip-syncing.
aespa is getting more and more popular. The rookie girl group is not only an outstanding name domestically but also internationally. Recently, aespa has embarked on activities targeting the American market. However, aespa’s performances on American shows have not left a good impression.
The reason is because aespa seems to lip-sync in every performance in the US. It looks like the girls only recorded their stages then sent the VCR, without actually performing live.
Recently, aespa became the first Korean act to perform on the Nick Cannon Show. Korean netizens have expressed their disappointment at how aespa was obviously lip-syncing at such an important schedule where they represent Kpop artists.
Moreover, netizens find it ridiculous when some aespa fans defend their idols by saying that everyone already knows aespa is good at singing, so they don’t deserve to get criticized for lip-syncing on a few stages. It’s true that aespa‘s live singing skills have been confirmed, but that does not mean their lip-syncing is acceptable, especially when there is no convincing reason why they could not sing live. This not only worsens the group’s image but also creates negative stereotypes about Kpop idols.
- If you lip-sync all the time, you will not get any reactions from foreign fans.
- Succeeding on the basis of talent is a big deal in America, so if you can’t sing live, you won’t get noticed
- For Lee Sooman, lip-syncing is also a music genre
- To those who defend them by saying their lip-syncing doesn’t matter because everyone already knows they sing well, America is a country where even good singers like Beyonce get sworn at for lip-syncing. If you’re a singer but you’re worried that singing live is too risky, and you’d rather lip-sync then you should know how embarrassing you’ll look. If you can’t sing properly, don’t expect to succeed in America.
- Personally, I hope idols stop trying to enter the American market. BTS is the only exception. Americans don’t care about Kpop as much as you think. And Kpop idols are way behind American singers when it comes to skills. Honestly, every time I watch idols’ performances, I just feel embarrassed.
